Selección Pirámides

Habanos Selection Release

The Selección Pirámides represents a distinguished multi-brand release from Habanos, bringing together six iconic pyramid-shaped cigars from Cuba's most celebrated marques. Originally introduced in 2003, this curated collection was reimagined and relaunched in 2016, offering aficionados the opportunity to experience the Pirámides vitola across different brand expressions in a single presentation.

Each cigar in this selection shares the classic Pirámides dimensions—a format beloved for its tapered head that allows smokers to customize their draw while concentrating flavors toward the finish. The collection showcases how each brand's unique tobacco blend and rolling tradition interprets this iconic shape.

The Pirámides Vitola

The Pirámides is one of the most revered formats in Cuban cigar making. Its distinctive tapered foot and pointed head create a smoking experience that evolves throughout the journey, with the narrowing tip concentrating smoke and intensifying flavors during the final third.
